calves weighing $50 pounds were fed
clover hay, new process inseed meal

equal quantities. The Others we're
given timothy hay and new milk, 10
pounds each; faxseed and corn meal.
The concentrated food vas one quar-

II win be noticed that the ration for
lot one was highly albuminous for

highly carbOnaceous, except the new
milk. The cream was taken from the
milk given TO lot one. but not from
that given TO lot two, thus giving two
a supposed advantage. The following

Every one who Crews peach trees is
often surprised at the persistence dis
played hy the peach tree in sending
out long shoots aud limbs without lat
eraI branches, and too often peach or
chards are entirely destroyed because
the owner does not exercise good judg-
ment in the use of his pruning shears.
The editor Of Popular Gardening writes
on this subject, and We judge that his
opinion il very good. He says:
:" Some cultivators do not allow any
OF these branches on their trees to ex-
tend more than five feet from the CEN
ter, as hardly more than two feet, At
the outside. ever bear fruit. With care
the trees. al any age. need never have
a spread OF more than ten feet under
the management Of careful pruning.
Finer fruit viii be had with good prnn-
ing. and when the trees continue
healthy their vigorous and good bear
ing condition may be indefinitely pro-
lonxed by judicisus pruning and proper
cultivation. A few days since We were
pointed out an orchard that had been
closely pruned each year. and had not
failed producing in five or siI years,
while orchards near by and under Just
a. favorable circumstances had failed
for ct least half the time, aud, when
fruiting. gave only q light crop. He
claimed that the shoFtening-in made
the wood harder. and the trees, being
planted close Together in bunch. were

NEW HoP SUPPoRTs.-The hop grow
ers of Wheatland have discovered that
the common willow poles used by them
ara not of much value, as they decay
quickly, and they have invented new
centrivance. Posts are planted at long
distances and wires stretched between
them, from which hang strings for the
vines 70 run on. The invention is not
patented. The hop-raising industry
has long been lucrative about Wheat
land. In this county there are many
spots suitable fer the raising Of hops,
and there's not much capital required.
But very little attention has been paid
to it. We know of many people who
raise enough for their own use, when
they could easily raise hops for market.

Prof. Sanborn concludes, as has been
contended by many stock-growers who
have tried the experiment without the
aid Of science to tell them why Il was
so, a. that skim milk can be made as
effective = ration for growth, in prac-
tical way, as new milk is; also that
new milk calves, as now grown by the
most OF farmers, are very costly calves.
II, as he estimates, milk is not pro-
duced for less than two cents per quart,
even when taken from the COW by the
calf, this must be apparent to every
one.
Lot one. il viii be observed, made a
trifis less gain per day than lot two.
but the cost per pound OF growth was
less than one half as much. la neither
case was the experiment made for the
purpose OF testing the economy of food.
The professor himself says that cheap
err and better growth can be made than
upon the above foods; or rather, Is
we suppose he means, upon combina-
tons OF food containing different pro-
portions OF albuminous and earbOna-
ceOus foods.
